Abstract:<p>In addition to being harmful to the ozone layer (for chlorinated and brominated compounds), halocarbons are also potent greenhouse gases. Their monitoring is therefore essential. Here we exploit measurements from the infrared satellite sounder IASI which offers the potential to robustly assess trends in the atmospheric abundances of trace gases owing to the stability and the consistency of the measurements made by three successive instruments over a period of more than 15 years. Despite their … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
